Nonrenewable Resources:
Nonrenewable resources are resources that come out of the ground as liquids, solids, and gases. Oil, coal, natural gas, and nuclear energy are the main sources of nonrenewable energy. They are essentially called nonrenewable resources because they cannot be replenished naturally over a short period of time.
